China approves 117 video games in August, the most in 2024, amid Black Myth: Wukong mania

Quick Summary:

The National Press and Publication Administration has licensed a total of 850 domestic titles in the first eight months of this year, compared with 609 in the same period in 2023.

The large number of titles approved in August reflects the significant recovery in China’s video gaming market since April 2022, when Beijing resumed licensing titles for the domestic market after an eight-month regulatory freeze.
